Made for the work you do

Bespoke contract wording for your industry

A consultant's agreement has different pressure points from a construction subcontract. The detail matters.

For consultants and professional services

  • Define client scope and payment milestones.
  • Keep ownership of your working methods and materials.
  • Set sensible limits around delay, access and approval.

A quick starting point

Which agreement are you considering?

Select an option for a useful direction. This guide is general information, not legal advice.

A service agreement can set out scope, milestones, payment and ownership.

Discuss your requirements

Typical drafting outcomes

Details that make negotiations easier

SaaS provider

Need: Terms that matched recurring access and customer data handling. Focus: service levels, suspension and ownership. Result: fewer open points during customer review.

Building contractor

Need: A subcontractor agreement for changing site conditions. Focus: variations, delay notices and payment stages. Result: responsibilities were easier to track.

Marketing agency

Need: Client terms that protected campaign assets. Focus: approvals, amendments and IP assignment. Result: a clearer sign-off route for both sides.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions about contract drafting

What is the difference between drafting and review?

Drafting creates a new agreement around your requirements. Review examines an existing document, explains points that need attention and suggests practical changes.

How long does drafting take?

Timing depends on the document, number of parties and feedback needed. A clear service agreement may take less time than a multi-party commercial arrangement. You will receive a realistic timeframe before work starts.

Do you provide legal advice?

The service focuses on drafting and reviewing commercial documents. For a formal legal opinion or advice on a dispute, you should consult a solicitor.

Can you work with my existing template?

Yes. An existing template can be reviewed, updated or used as a starting point when it still suits your business.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Clients include start-ups, SMEs, consultants, agencies, technology firms, trades, property businesses and suppliers across the UK.

How are fees structured?

Fees depend on the document and the work involved. Share your requirements for a clear quote before you decide.
